Editorial Reviews

2008 album from the Australian singer, songwriter and performer best known for his stints with Crowded House, ALT, The Finn Brothers and as frontman for Split Enz. With The Conversation, Tim has delivered his most intimate album to date. Recorded at Roundhead Studios in Auckland and featuring only vocals, guitar, piano and violin, the record was conceived to be almost like chamber music, where the individual instruments come together to create something much greater than the sum of it's parts. Co-produced by Ethan Allen and former Split Enz member Eddie Rayner, the 13 songs that make up The Conversation are fragile, yet self assured, with Tim's distinctive vocals and lyrics being the primary focus. Virgin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tim's best since "Before and After", March 30, 2009

I've been listening to this CD for about 2 weeks now, pretty much every day. It's kind of a throwback to Tim's earlier, less electronic stuff. I loved Say It Is So, kind of liked Feeding the Gods, and really loved his earlier stuff. I'm really glad that he went back to a more acoustic, stripped down approach (and using his great falsetto a bit more).

Tim's voice sounds so damn good without all the filters and noise. I'm not going to go through all the tunes on the CD, but if you liked/loved Escapade through Before and After, you'll love this CD. It's well worth paying for the import, seeing as it may be a while before it's domestically available.

Nice record, goes back to his earlier days. Focus on melody and voice, sparse arrangements. Unfortunately a bit expensive and no digipack as you should expect.
